ANTIRATTLER PROTECTOR FOR WINDOWS.

SPEGLEFLCATIN forming part Yof Letters Patent No. 665,95@ dated January 15, 1901.

Application filed November 22, 1899. SerialNo. 737,900. (No model.) i

T0 all, whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE COOKE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Palmyra, in the count-y of Burlington and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Antirattler Protector for Windows, of which the following is a specication.

The object of the present invention is to provide a comparatively inexpensive device which may be readily applied between a window-sash and its sill and which adapts itself to position for excluding both wind and dust and for preventing the sash from rattling. 15

To this and other ends the invention comprises the device hereinafter described and claimed.

The nature, characteristic features, and

scope of the invention will be more fully uni derstood from the following description,taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a raised sash, showingin application to the sill a protector embodying features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse` sectional view through the sash and sill and showing the protector in operative position. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the protector detached. Fig. 4 is a similar view of the protector in the formin which it may be advantageously placed upon the market, and Figs. 5 and 6 are transverse sectional views of the protector.

In the drawings, lis an oblong pad consisting of a flexible cover or envelop 2, as of paper, and suitable stuffing 3, as of cotton-batting. There ranges lengthwise of the pad a crease 4, which may comprise aline of stitches,

as shown in the drawings, and these stitches serve to unite the edges of the cover 2 and divide the pad into two parts or pads, of which the one shown on the right in Fig. 5 is wider than the one shown on the left.,

5 is a finger projecting from the end of the pad,and by 'ttingit between the beads,which form sashways, serves to prevent accidental displacement of the pad. For convenience the pad may be sold with the finger or projection 5 only at one end, as shown in Fig. 4.

In such case it may be cut o and out so as to form a finger or projection suited to the width of the window. Sometimes the pads may be marked, a's at 6, so as to show where to drive a tack which will operate to additionally secure the device to place, and, if desired, there may be printed upon the pad near the mark 6 instructions to this eiect. The pad may also be made an advertising medium, in 'which case suitable advertisements can be printed upon it.

In use the pad is laid upon the Window-sill and is there held to place by the projections 5 and by the tack or tacks, if the latter are used. The pad is so positioned thatthe crease 4 is near the union of the sill proper with the raised inner edge 7, Fig. 2, so that when the window is closed the creased portion naturally yields and ca uses the device to fold itself under and along the inner edge of the window-sash, with its wide pad under the movable part of the Window and its small pad arranged vertically. In this position the padv is not visible from the interior, and it serves to exclude both drafts and dust and also toprevent the sash from rattling.

' It will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the vinvention appertains that modifications may be made in details Without departing from the spirit thereof. Hence I do not limit myself to the precise construction and arrangement of parts herein set'forth and shown in the drawings; but,

Having thus described the nature and objects of my invent-ion, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

An antirattler and protector for windows consisting of flexible non-resilient stung, a flexible non-elastic cover wrapped around the same with its edges overlapping, and a line of stitches securing the edges and dividing the stufling into two non-resilient pads ofwhichl one is wider than the other, substanlia'lly as described.
